If your total household income is within the limits set by the federal government, you may be eligible for either free or reduced-price school meals. If you qualify for free or reduced-price meals, you may also be eligible for food assistance benefits from the Iowa Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS).

A new eligibility application must be completed and submitted each school year.

Free and reduced price meal eligibility applications for each new school year will become available in late July. You can apply for eligibility through the online application at www.schoolcafe.com or by filling out a paper application that may be printed from the Nutrition Services website under free and reduced meal eligibility.

Applications are also available at orientation, from building secretaries, and/or at the central office. If you have questions about free and reduced meals or the application process, please contact Nutrition Services at (515) 965-9604 ext. 50811.

If you have questions about free and reduced meals or the application process, please contact the Nutrition Services Assistant at (515) 965-9604 x50811 or email. For information about state food assistance benefits, contact 1-877-937-3663, or apply online.
